It is common in the tropics and subtropics, but in temperate regions frequently occurs in hothouses and flowerpots, hence its common names of plantpot dapperling and flowerpot parasol (wikipedia) , i suspect Leucocoprinus birnbaumii ! ( http://www.google.nl/search?hl=nl&cp=24&gs_id=2&xhr=t&q=leucocoprinus+birnbaumii&safe=off&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&biw=1264&bih=568&wrapid=tljp132398016102000&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=mlXqTpOrBISCOsbeiLYI ). :)
do you really think : Stinkhorn"? , after entering "yellow stinkhorn" by google image, i found 1 similar picture, but that had no latin name. the picture with the latin name (mutinus curtus) were different, more like stinkhorn-shape. ( http://www.google.nl/search?hl=nl&cp=16&gs_id=1n&xhr=t&q=yellow+stinkhorn&safe=off&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&biw=1264&bih=687&wrapid=tljp1323613174312024&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=CrzkTpi_MJHpOaDyuLcE ). i see no egg at this spotting and it seems as if there is a little ring (annulus) ??
